\n Knicks president Leon Rose didn\u2019t bring John Calipari to New York, but he could add the Kentucky coach\u2019s right-hand man.<\/p>\n

Wildcats associate head coach Kenny Payne told the Lexington Herald-Leader that the Knicks have expressed interest in hiring him as an assistant coach on Tom Thibodeau\u2019s staff. Payne is weighing an offer, according to Stadium\u2019s Jeff Goodman.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll I can say is it\u2019s not an easy decision,\u201d Payne said. \u201cAnd, hopefully, it gets resolved one way or the other here soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Payne, who joined Calipari\u2019s staff in 2010 and was promoted four years later, said the Knicks reached out to the Hall of Fame coach for permission to talk to him and also have been in contact with his agent. Rose is Calipari\u2019s former agent at CAA \u2014 where Knicks\u2019 executive vice president William \u201cWorldwide Wes\u2019\u201d Wesley also worked.<\/p>\n

Leaving Kentucky could be a hard choice for Payne. His son, Zan, is a walk-on sophomore for the Wildcats.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is a unique situation,\u201d Payne said when asked about coaching some of college basketball\u2019s top talent. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to even fathom leaving Kentucky when you\u2019re in a position like I\u2019m in.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Post has reported that former Knicks coach Mike Woodson and former interim coach Mike Miller are considered near locks to join the staff. Thibodeau is also expected to push most for Andy Greer, his former assistant with the Bulls and Timberwolves.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a great job for a lot of different reasons,\u201d Payne said. \u201cAnd all I can tell you is that I\u2019ve been blessed to be able to be in a position to help a lot of people. It\u2019s more than just basketball with me when you\u2019re in a position to help families.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
